The scale of the destruction is enormous, yet people are busy at work. People aren’t waiting for things to be done for them, but are getting on with clearing the rubble and rebuilding. Such spirit!This video of Berlin & Potsdam in July 1945 contains footage taken from an airplane flying over Berlin as well as street scenes filmed from a road vehicle as it drives through the city. One can see people busily going about their business, and clearing rubble from the many collapsed buildings. The scale of the destruction is truly shocking and the immensity of the rebuilding task facing the inhabitants becomes clear as we see street after street and block after block of bombed-out, collapsed and burned buildings.The Brandenburer Tor (Brandenburg Gate) is also shown. It has suffered some damage and one section has a hole it in where it must have been hit by a shell. Some of the stonework has fallen away, and the bronzework chariot on the top is also showing battle injuries.It is clear from the video that the military is maintaining a visible presence in the city. Soldiers are present on the streets and signs designate the boundaries of the different sectors (British, American, Russian) into which Berlin was carved at the end of the war.Arquivo - CHRONOS-MEDIA GmbH, PotsdamDesign - Konstantin von Mühlen zurSound Design e Instalação - grãos ArneProdução - KRONOS Media GmbH, Hamburgo
